After spending some time under the screen cleaning out foliage I decided I had made the scroggers first mistake, I didn’t allow for enough room under the screen for “easy” maintenance and before she gets bigger, I better do something. So I got a stool which sits a little over 8 inches tall and cut the screen loose from the spring clamps holding it in place allowing me to move up and down freely. Then a little bit of yoga and gymnastics and I managed to get the autopot tray, pot, and plant on top of it without ripping her apart. I moved the AutoCobs up to the ceiling to maintain my 30 inches of separation.
By the way I don’t recommend doing it this way. Plan ahead and make sure you don’t have this issue in the future.
I also added another 5 gallons of nutrients to the reservoir. It was down to one inch. She showed signs of preflower and has grown 3-4 inches above the screen.
As always, if you see something, feel free to say something. Questions please ask them.
Awesome. I’m doing a Super Skunk in the exact same style. Almost identical.
Can’t wait to see how yours turns out. I’m still 2-3 weeks away from flipping to flower as I want to fill my 120cm x 120cm canopy as much as I can. I’m about to start a journal on it so if you’re interested, check it out when it’s up. Good luck!
@HemiSync, no worries bro. When I get around to it, I will start a diary for them and get it up to speed. I’m currently at Day 11 of flower, so I have some uploading to get done.
Im totally new to growing indoors or at all, the whole raise the plant to help push it the scrog screen...genious. Im def gonna follow use for helpful tips like that. Keep up the good work. They look great!
@Greenthumb4488,
Thanks for the kind words. I actually raised the pot to add more room under the net to be able to get under her and clean up all the foliage under the screen. Now the buds are getting so close to my lights I might have to lower her back down again. Not a task I wish to do.
@Tophat,
Thanks, I’m hoping it just produces bud, I will work on filling the tent next time. 😂 This is just my training wheels run. Next time I’ll do it right with a new plant, not an old mother.
@simps,
Thanks for the kind words. I agree they are from the soil. I use mushroom compost in my mix, but they don’t normally show mushrooms. The mix must be on track if it’s able to grow mushrooms.
